Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 550 Gambling Skills
The way to play casino dice is very simple, it is just a simple comparison of hearts. Each person has six dice in his hand, both sides can shake it once, and then say the number to deceive the other party, which is similar to the way of playing in bars in later generations.

Chen Ce naturally didn't know how to play the game, but he thought that if there was no trick, Zhu Houzhao would never have lost tens of thousands of taels.

No matter how bad your luck is, you will always win sometimes. It is impossible to lose so much.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly tried to dissuade Chen Ce in a low voice. They knew very well that the other party was very powerful, and Chen Ce came here just to give more money to the other party.

The man shaking the dice was an old man in his fifties. He flicked the bamboo tube with his fingers, and the dice made a beautiful sound. Then he said, "Three twos."

Chen Ce was silent for a moment, then said, "Open."

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded. How could he open it right away? What if the opponent really had three two points? Wouldn’t he lose?

Two points are equivalent to twenty taels of silver, three are sixty taels, and the biggest is six sixes, which means you can lose three hundred and sixty taels at one time. But this is only the first time it is opened. If it is opened in the second and third rounds, the amount will be doubled respectively.

This is real gambling!
The old man smiled and said to Chen Ce: "Young people are very cautious. They started in the first round."

He opened the bamboo tube and found only two twos inside. The opponent lost and Chen Ce won sixty taels.

Chen Ce knew that this was just a sweet treat for himself. He didn't really care about how to roll the dice. He was just paying attention to the other party's every word and action, wanting to see his determined expression and his expression and little movements when he was lying.

Of course, Chen Ce was observing the other party, and the other party was also paying attention to Chen Ce.

The dice were rolled again. Chen Ce opened the dice slightly and took a look, then took the initiative to say, "Three sixes."

The old man in the gambling house smiled and said, "Four sixes."

If both parties are lying, as long as his six-point dice number is greater than yours, he wins.

Chen Ce said: "Five sixes."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, his face was full of anxiety, thinking, why don't you open it now? He clearly doesn't have four sixes, and you have three in your hand now. If you open it, won't it be a sure win?

"Haha, it seems that you really have six points in your hand, but I also have quite a few in my hand, six sixes!"

Chen Ce can choose to continue following as long as the final result is bigger than his. For example, if Chen Ce says seven again, as long as it is more than his six, the final settlement will be capped at three hundred and sixty taels. However, three rounds have passed now, which means that three hundred and sixty taels must be multiplied by three, which is one thousand and eighty taels.

No wonder it didn't look like much, but in the end Zhu Houzhao lost so much.

"Little brother, don't follow me. If you give up now, you will only lose 180 taels at most."

If you give up in the end, the amount of money you lose is the number of dice you called the first time. Chen Ce called three sixes the first time, which is one hundred and eighty taels.

The old man in the gambling house smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu is right. Young man, do you want to follow me?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, I won't follow you. You said you have six sixes, so I'll open it for you."

"I have three sixes, what about you?"

The old man still had a faint smile on his face. He tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said, "Young man, I am slightly better than you. Four sixes."

"You lose one thousand and eighty taels this time."

Chen Ce narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Come again."

"Four sixes."

"give up."

"Five sixes."

"give up."

In the next dozen or so rounds, Chen Ce chose to give up. Every time he gave up, Gaomu lost money. Four sixes was two hundred and forty, and five sixes was three hundred taels.

After more than ten rounds, Chen Ce lost four or five thousand taels, and his total loss today was almost catching up with Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Jin repeatedly advised Chen Ce not to gamble anymore, but it was of no use. Chen Ce seemed to have gone crazy with rage, and his expression was exactly the same as Zhu Houzhao's when he lost money.

Zhu Houzhao also tried to persuade Chen Ce, but Chen Ce held down his hands, signaling him not to speak.

By the thirteenth round, it was still the old man on the other side who spoke: "Six sixes." Chen Ce opened the bamboo tube, and there was only a six inside. Zhu Houzhao kept pulling Chen Ce's sleeve, signaling him to give up quickly.

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Seven sixes."

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Zhu Houzhao's forehead.

After this round of calls, the winnings or losses will be at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

The old man smiled and said, "You finally started to follow. Great, eight sixes."

"nine."

"Ten."

"Eleven."

"twelve."

As both sides continued to raise the price, ten rounds had passed and the total price had reached three thousand six hundred taels. However, neither side seemed to have any intention of giving up and continued to increase the price.

When the fifty rounds had passed, the old man in the gambling house advised Chen Ce: "Boy, the bet has reached more than 18,000 taels, are you sure you don't want to open it?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, let's continue."

"haha okay!"

When the hundredth round came, the old man finally lost his patience. Just as he was about to knock on the table, Chen Ce said, "Open!"

"Stop him, don't let him move!"

In a flash, Chen Ce directly reached out and opened the other party's bamboo tube.

"Five at two and one at four."

Then he opened his bamboo tube with lightning speed, revealing only a six-point star.

The old man's eyes widened with anger, and he said excitedly: "You! You cheated?!"

Chen Ce: “?”

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you allowing me to lift your bamboo tube?"

The old man looked incredulous. He didn't know how Chen Ce changed his points. He clearly had two sixes in there. Just now, to be on the safe side, he was going to tap the table and change the number of points in the bamboo tube to six sixes.

But who would have known that now not only were there no six sixes, but even his original two sixes no longer existed!

Chen Ce said innocently, "What is cheating? How do you cheat?"

The old man said, "You must have tampered with my bamboo tube when you opened it!"

"Don't think I don't know your methods!"

"What method?" Chen Ce asked.

The old man said: "You must have used the same method as me..."

He was so excited that he blurted out the wrong thing, because in this round, he lost more than 36,000 taels. He was just a person invited by the casino. He lost so much this time. He had no chance of survival at all!

This casino belongs to Wang Youjia, a very vicious guy who has done many things to steal money and kill people.

Chen Ce suddenly realized: "I used the same method as you? What does that mean? Does it mean that you relied on this to win everyone's money before?"

There are so many gamblers in the gambling house witnessing it. If he admits it, he will be beaten to death by these gamblers. If he denies it, it proves that Chen Ce did not cheat, and the gambling house will have to pay Chen Ce 36,000 taels of silver!

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were both stunned, their mouths slightly open, looking dumbfounded!
